I recommend Star Wars Episode IV:A New Hope.

Before you focus on some of the more violent scenes in that film, I think this is so otherworldly and so much of its time and place, that it can prove to be a stepping stone for them getting more courageous to handle more violent fare.

Furthermore, I would think any of the Muppet movies could also work.

I agree as I grew up with this but Vader would not go over well even in such an outlandish setting

Star Wars??? They're afraid of Disney movies. Star Wars is really intense in comparison. You've got angry aliens, sand people, arms getting cut off, people getting shot, Darth Vader, Jawas, and a monster in a garbage compactor.

And it’s so very cute and creatively done.

It’s not enough to have stories without any conflict. I’d promote stories with tense elements, but done in a manner that is otherworldly, to help raise them to become courageous.

These aren't your kids though. Maybe defer to the parent/guardian.

By definition, the parent/guardian will look over the list of suggestions and make his/her own decisions. I’m not forcing them to abide my choice over My Little Pony the Movie. I’m stating that there might be a loophole in the kids’ fears, which they as parents may or may not want to consider.
